The metal headlight support bar that runs across the width of the front has become detached on the left (driver) side and hangs down about 1/4" to 1/2". How is this thing fastened and how can I go about fixing it.
Thanks for any help I get.
Chris :confused:
Yeah, I knew I couldn't be the only one with the problem. Nobody at the local club could help. Please let me know if you find anything out, and I'll do the same.

I had the same problem. In fact, the support on my 74 was so badly corroded I replaced it.
First, make sure yours is not corroded. If it is bad it will eventually screw up your headlight door alignment and cause big problems.
Go to AutoZone and buy 3M Super Fast Urethane.Part # 08609. It comes in a tube that fits in a caulk gun. Smear a bunch in the crevice and clamp the support to the fiberglass for about 24hours. Worked like a champ for me.
I was given this tip by a gentleman who has been restoring Vettes for over 30 years.
Shoot me an e-mail if you need additional help.
